Anti-whaling movement

The anti-whaling movement is a global effort to protect whales from hunting and commercial exploitation. Inspired by concerns over animal welfare, marine conservation, and the ecological importance of whales, organizations and governments advocate for bans or restrictions on whaling activities. They aim to prevent overhunting that can endanger whale populations, ensure sustainable marine ecosystems, and promote international legal agreements like the International Whaling Commission’s moratorium on commercial whaling. The movement combines scientific research, advocacy, and diplomacy to promote whale conservation and raise awareness about the impacts of hunting on these intelligent marine mammals.
